New Delhi: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday said it is “pretty clear” the government has no basis to charge Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti under the Public Safety Act and the two former Jammu and Kashmir chief ministers must be freed.
Since when has becoming a “daddy’s girl” and encouraging people to vote become a crime against the nation, Priyanka Gandhi asked on Twitter. Her attack came after Abdullah’s “considerable influence” over people, including the ability to attract voters to polling booths despite poll boycott calls and the potential for channelling energies of public for any cause, was cited in support of his detention under the stringent PSA.
His political opponent and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader Mehbooba Mufti has been accused of making anti-national statements and extending support to organisations such as the Jamaat-e-Islamia. She was also reportedly referred in the report as being called by the masses as ‘Daddy’s girl’ and ‘Kota Rani’. (PTI)
